Developer wants water and sewer

Mike Hanusiak of Clayton Development attended the meeting. His company plans to turn wilderness areas in Purcells Cove into new housing. That development would require water and sewer.

"We are part of the process. We respect that process, regardless of how long it takes," he said.

The committee looking at the services expansion will meet again in the coming weeks.

Halifax regional council approved a feasibility study for sewer and water lines along Purcells Cove Road based on surveys done six years ago. At the time, there was some interest from homeowners who were worried about ongoing well problems.
